Regulators, politicians, the social media company’s publisher-partners, its own advertiser customers: They are all increasingly fed up with Facebook. It’s not just Facebook, of course. The same groups are annoyed to a greater or lesser degree with Google <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2eb9e08a683d81588138d4c5b…>. And Twitter has done its fair share to poison the well of civil discourse—the corollary to the glory of free speech. But Facebook is the greater devil of the moment, relative to Google, and Twitter elicits more pity than enmity right now. Here are a things to read on the state of play to start your week: * *The Wall Street Journal* published an illuminating article <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e341dbb842be8d0f630be7d7…> over the weekend that details how Silicon Valley’s “darling” status has more or less ended in Washington, D.C. It would be tempting to read this as an ideological shift from the Democratic Obama administration to the Republican Trump administration. I think that would be a mistake. Rancor over a concentration of power and a realization that “the Internet industry” no longer needs the protection accorded a fledgling is an increasingly bipartisan emotion. * Also over the weekend, the conscientious Mike Allen of Axios articulated Facebook’s perspective <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e82b018cb2c42680b3d1482f…> on all this. Why his take matters: Facebook is fully aware they have a political hot potato on their hands. * The intelligentsia is all in on going after Big Tech. Exhibit A is the new book by former *New Republic* Editor Franklin Foerr, *World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e9951251e668d10a57dadfb8…>*. Exhibit B is the oft-quoted Jonathan Taplin’s book *Move Fast and Break Things: How Facebook, Google, and Amazon Cornered Culture and Undermined Democracy <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e08ba0cf7728adf117eb9a78…>*. Exhibit C is this penetrating opinion piece <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e9ef667d34908c741b2e2473…> that recently came to my attention by University of Chicago professors Luisi Zingales and Guy Rolnik that argues for the legislation of the transfer of ownership all user-generated data from the social media companies to the users who created the data.

With revenue still on pace to more than double annually, CEO Stewart Butterfield says: "If it was 10 years ago we'd be public by now."

Only Alphabet's Waymo, Uber, and startup nuTonomy have reached that milestone. *Stamp out the hate.* *Facebook* and *Google* moved to quash <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e14bbde170c7f8153a39250f…> the controversy over the ability to use hateful terms to target advertising on their networks. Facebook had to turn off one of its automated advertising suggestion tools. Google stopped its main ad system for search from suggesting offensive phrases. *Can you hear me now*. After T-Mobile decided to give its unlimited data plan customers free Netflix, which followed AT&T's free HBO offer for its unlimited customers, *Verizon* may have something similar in the offing.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT *Computer scientist Alan Kay* helped conceptualize or invent many of the most popular innovations of our high tech world, including the graphical user interface and the tablet computer. But in an interview with *Fast Company*, Kay is concerned <https://click.email.fortune.com/?qs=2ed78315f5b4ee2e95b948ee93f7f2ddfa95156…> about the impact of smartphones, which may be dumbing down the world. If people could understand what computing was about, the iPhone would not be a bad thing. But because people don't understand what computing is about, they think they have it in the iPhone, and that illusion is as bad as the illusion that Guitar Hero is the same as a real guitar. That's the simple long and the short of it. What's interesting is, the computational ability of an iPhone is far beyond what we need to do good computing. What you wind up with is something that has enough stuff on it and is connected to enough stuff, so it seems like the entire thing. .

IEBC - 2022 - Training suggestions, tallying, transmission simulations, animations
by S.M. Muraya 17 Sep '17

17 Sep '17

For years some of us have made suggestions, which if heeded to, would make things much easier for IEBC & Kenyans. (i) No foreign firm should be issued a major technology contract without local partners - Firms owned by Kenyans, well known to be passionate about technology. Training also works best with people who can relate well to each other. Next time, IEBC could work with digischools to train returning officers on how to use tablets for scanning, transmitting documents. http://icta.go.ke/digischool/teacher-capacity/ >> So far 80,980 teachers have been trained. (ii) Competitions should be held to encourage interested and capable Kenyans to create educational/instructional animations. https://www.skillsusa.org/events-training/national-leadership-and-skills-co… >> https://youtu.be/ase6_hKuAwM Simple animation/apps can guide "returning and presiding officers" on how to properly use the technology at their disposal. It may even work better than video conferencing in areas where there are bandwidth issues. Procurement challenges/requirements (including fraud) has always kept talented Kenyans from contributing their skills to developing transparency and accountability in Kenya. We should use competitions, awarding up to KES 100 million to winning teams.

New Apple iPhone X "the future of the smartphone."
by WANGARI KABIRU 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

"...I understood what Tim Cook meant when he called it "the future of the smartphone." Apple's not the only company betting on this version of the future, where phones have amazing cameras and no bezel, but it's doing a lot of things right....It's an absolutely beautiful device, especially in black.........And the X appears perfectly suited for the augmented reality future Apple imagines: I tested an app similar to Snapchat's lenses, and the front-facing camera perfectly mapped a series of masks onto even the tiniest contours of my face. The animoji flexed with even the most minute twinge of my eyebrows. I played a game and it worked seamlessly through the rear camera. What developers make of augmented reality is one question, but Apple's hardware appears ready to handle the future." https://www.wired.com/story/hands-on-with-the-iphone-x?mbid=nl_091417_gadge… Blessed Furahi day! Regards/Wangari --- Pray God Bless. 2013Wangari circa - "Being of the Light, We are Restored Through Faith in Mind, Body and Spirit; We Manifest The Kingdom of God on Earth".
